Super Bowl memories...

What's the first SB you remember watching?
What are your favorite memories?

For me, even though I was too young to recall watching Super Bowl V, I had an electronic football game with the Colts - Cowboys (man, I wish I still had that thing). And I can remember kids in Sunday School talking about either being a Cowboys or Dolphins fan for SB VI, but again I don't recall watching that game either. The first one I can remember is SB VII, as the Garo Yepremian (sp?) play still stands out in my mind.

Don't remember which was the first one, but my first memories of football in general was in the 90's when Dallas and San Francisco were the biggest rivalry in sports. Every year, it seemed like our entire school was for one or the other and the entire season revolved around when those two played.

I have a vague recollection of my Dad watching the Redskins in SB VII. I was 5 or 5 and had a little Redskins uniform and helmet (which I still have the helmet), and I had it on.

The one I actually remember watching, and understanding, was IX, with the Steelers and Vikings. I really remember SB X because it was the Cowboys, which I hated, against the Steelers. I was pulling for the Steelers, of course.

My best SB memory was watching SB XVII with my Dad. The Redskins got to play the Dolphins again and WON!

I was walking down main street rainsville ala with my dad. there was a tv on display in the sears catalogue store. It was a color tv which was cool and it had super bowl 1 playing with a small crowd watching. I was 6. I told my dad "i want the red team to win" he said "no you dont, you like the green team". Been a packer fan ever since.

I've seen them all.. The first one was actually televised by both NBC and CBS, with much favoritism from the announcers. NBC carried the AFL, CBS the NFL.

The NFL network replayed SB1 last week, which was pretty cool to watch.

Bengals vs. 49ers, Dolphins vs. Skins, Bears vs. Patriots and Giants vs. Bills are the Super Bowls I remember most vividly from my childhood. But I don't remember them so much because of the games themselves, but for other reasons. For example, I watched the Bears game at a buddy's house. And before the game, we were running the neighborhood and looking for trouble. We were doing the ol' "ring-and-run" at people's houses. I remember pushing a doorbell like 5 or 6 times before running off but while I was running away I could hear the doorbell was stuck and it just kept ringing and ringing. We laughed for hours about that. And for the Giants game, I remember the big deal they were making over the gatorade bath.

Here's my go-to Super Bowl memory. When I was in 8th grade, our middle school Beta Club took a trip to Disney World. It happened to be the weekend of Super Bowl XXXVIII, Panthers vs. Patriots. We were all very excited about the Panthers being in the Super Bowl, and we watched it a big ballroom in the hotel. Halftime begins, and my friends and I decide that we are going to go to the arcade down the hall because (and this is a direct quote) "It's halftime, nothing exciting will happen." As fate had it, that was Janet Jackson's infamous wardrobe malfunction halftime performance. So not only did we miss it to play Skee-Ball, we missed it on giant projection screens. Here's the thing though, when we returned for the second half, no one was talking about it, no one said "Hey, you won't believe what just happened," nothing. This is before Facebook and Twitter, we didn't learn anything about it until we saw the news the next morning. So you can imagine the disappointment among those 12 year old kids that they missed seeing a boob on live tv. I've made sure to watch the halftime shows since, just in case.
